Happy Friday! MAP’s Five on Friday kicks off the weekend by sharing five things we loved this week. Join in with us by sharing five things you’re loving in the comments below!

{{№1: Celebrating}}

Our 2018 Future Summit was on Sunday, July 29th and could not have been more successful. We’re thrilled to see tweets and photos from all the attendees who came out to share their views. Check out #FutureSummit2018 on Twitter to see what our legislators are saying about the weekend!

{{№2: Reading}}

Internships, volunteer work, summer classes. CNBC offers numerous explanations for the recent decline in youth summer employment, and how the highly competitive educational landscape puts pressure on teens. It’s got us wondering, how will this affect the job market overall?

{{№3: Highlighting}}

Millennial leadership spotlight! We love to see young people stepping up and making political change. This week we’re highlighting an article from Billy Penn featuring young candidates from all over Pennsylvania running for office.

{{№4: Listening}}

This week we’re listening to four songs dubbed ‘Bona Fide Millennial Anthems’. These songs capture the highs and lows of being a millennial, from finding fulfillment in your career to ‘cutting toxic people out of your life’. Ultimately, they remind us that we’re all in this together.

Got any songs you’d like to add to the list? Leave them in the comments!

{{№5: Watching}}

From ordering on iPads to the possibility of robot waiters, Millennials are welcoming more technology into their dining experience. This week we’re watching this video from Bloomberg about smart technology and how artificial intelligence can be used to create a personalized dining experience.
